My state has an annual inspection where checking headlight aim is one of the safety checks. If cars have misaligned headlights, the owner is a persistent cunt
It's not actually a misalignment. It's an intentional feature to get better visibility further down the road but not in a situation that calls for high beams.
You’re telling me that aiming the headlights above the states safety limits is a feature? Making things slightly better for yourself at the expense of everyone else is a good thing?
What? No, that's not what I'm saying at all!
I know it's the bad place, but this below is what I'm talking about:

Huh, I’ve never seen this, or maybe never noticed it in any car I’ve used. Is this a truck thing? Cool feature but seems like it’d be abused more often than used
Well, there's one in my VW Polo, so not just a truck thing
